Kayo Dot is an avant-garde group from Boston, Massachusetts, United States that was formed in 2003 by Toby Driver after the disband of maudlin of the Well. They released their debut album Choirs of the Eye on John Zorn’s Tzadik label that year.
The music of Kayo Dot bridges several genres, from heavy metal to classical music. Their songs involve complex instrumentation (composed by singer and frontman Driver), generally without refrain. They are substantially longer than typical rock songs, often ranging from 8 to 15 minutes in length.
Kayo Dot’s new album Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue was released in January of 2006.
Recently, Kayo Dot released an exclusive track for a vinyl split with New York’s own Bloody Panda through European Label Holy Roar Records.
On May 6 2008, they released their third full-length, Blue Lambency Downward, on Hydra Head Records.
Their new album recorded in June 2009 named ‘Coyote’ is set to be released at the begining of 2010 on Hydra Head Records.

Greetings dudes, thanks to everyone came out to last weekends shows! Wow... the turnout was amazing and unexpected! We are really sorry to anyone who got turned away (but psyched that so many people showed up!) I'm posting today because tomorrow's (Tuesday's) show will be really close to my heart and I hope many of you can make it. Jason Byron, our original lyricist and vocalist of MOTW, will be doing a special performance with me at 8. He and I haven't played together for ten years, and he is now totally reclusive, so this will be very special. Please attend!
